    Excellent food, attentive service, and a lovely dining room—it's hard to go wrong. The carpaccio is excellent, especially for a seafood-centric restaurant. Paella was good, too. Dining companion enjoyed the Monkfish very much. Wish they had more local seafood options.

    My husband and I went to the Q for an early dinner before the theater. We have been to this restaurant several times and never been disappointed. The staff is friendly and helpful, from the host at the check in station to the server. The menu is long with many choices, so guidance was appreciated. Everything was delicious. We had spring rolls and Japanese pot stickers for apps. We ordered Mongolion cumin beef - a unique taste. The Kung Pao shrimp was yummy with the right amount of heat. We will definitely be back.

    Food in this place is amazing, we started with the Wagyu Beef tartare👌🏽 amazinggg, then for our main Ricotta & Swiss Chard Tortellini and Pan Seared Scallops, I cannot decide which one was better, both were outstanding. For dessert I highly recommend the mango tiramisú, we did also the Baked Chocolate Ganache, but the chocolate is super dark ( if you are a fan you will enjoy it). Thank you Walter for making our night, an amazing experience.

    The drinks were exceptional, and the food was prepared exactly as we requested: the steak was perfectly medium-rare, and the hamburger was cooked to a perfect medium. While the garlic mashed potatoes could have been a bit smoother, the French fries were absolutely fabulous. Our waitress was attentive and provided excellent service. Overall, it’s a great space to enjoy a meal.
